Contact your local energy provider with your address. They will confirm if three-phase power is available at your property.

You will need an electrician to confirm the available supply in amps per phase. The DHB-E 18 LCD requires 27 A per phase, while the DHB-E 27 LCD requires 40 A per phase.

Check the amperage supply from the circuit breaker feeding your current unit. Contact our team to confirm the most suitable STIEBEL ELTRON replacement model.

Sizing depends on the number of outlets and the incoming cold water temperature. As a guide:
• For a 1-bathroom apartment or house: a 19.4 kW unit (e.g. DHE 18 LCD, DEL 18 AU, or DHB-E 18 LCD) is suitable.
• For a 2-bathroom house: a 28–29.1 kW unit (e.g. DHE 27 AU, DEL 27 Plus, or DHB-E 27 LCD) is recommended.

Underneath the temperature adjustment dial is a flap that pulls forward and drops down. A rating label inside shows the model and size — DHB-E 13 LCD, DHB-E 18 LCD, or DHB-E 27 LCD. A guide is also available in the downloads section of the DHB-E LCD product page.

The DHB-E LCD range can deliver hot water up to 60°C. For domestic bathrooms, plumbing regulations require a temperature control device to limit delivery to 50°C. Alternatively, the STIEBEL ELTRON DEL Plus water heater delivers water not exceeding 50°C in accordance with AS3498. Learn more about the DEL Plus.

Thanks to its compact size, the DHB-E LCD can be installed almost anywhere. It does not require ventilation, a relief drain, or a safe tray, making it suitable for cupboards, under-sink installations, roof spaces, service cavities, or Euro laundries. For outdoor use, it must be protected from the elements with a covering such as a meter box.

The DHB-E LCD should be installed as close as possible to the most frequently used outlet to reduce water and energy waste. However, it can also serve multiple outlets located several metres away.

Instantaneous electric water heaters can be up to 30% more efficient than storage systems, as they only heat water when required and do not suffer from standing heat losses.
